Product Description
Illus. in full color. A “fabulous book of simple words, exciting pictures and inviting rhythm.”–Elementary English. Amazon.com Review
“Did you ever glide a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?” Such are the profound, philosophical queries posed in this well-loved classic by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel. While many rhymes in this couplet collection resemble sphinx-worthy riddles, Seuss’s intention is clear: teach children to read in a way that is both entertaining and educational. It matters small that each wonderful vignette has nothing to do with the one that follows. (We go seamlessly from a one-humped Wump and Mister Gump to yellow pets called the Zeds with one hair upon their heads.) Children today will be as entranced by these ridiculous rhymes as they have been since the book’s original publication in 1960–so amused and enchanted, in fact, they may not even notice they are learning to read!

It is like this book was written for a baby or something. Anyone looking for enlightened literature should look elsewhere.

i am giving this one star as I don’t like the passage, and worse, the illustration : “and some are very, very, terrible. Why are they sad and glad and terrible? I do not know. Go question your dad.” The scene is a huge red fish (mother or father is not known) with a frightened small fish, the adult fish hand it up toward the face of the small fish with small lines to show action as if the child fish is going to get slapped across the face. Another child fish is watching and smiling as if to say “ha, ha, you are getting in distress now”.
I grew up with Dr. Suess. I also grew up with capital punishment, being hit by my parents as a common punishment method. Now that I am a parent I’ve chose to teach and instruct my children rather than just issuing punishment by the method of physically arresting them. Call me PC or whatever you want, it doesn’t matter to me what you reflect of me. I am language from my heart. I realize this book was written in times when arresting children was seen as the norm in America as a normal punishment method. But times have changed. Even the American College of Pediatrics has a policy against arresting children as a form of punishment. I also don’t like the ancient-fashioned labeling of a child as terrible if they did one terrible thing. The action they did was terrible, but the child as a person is not terrible. Any modern parenting book will clarify that children should not be labeled as terrible because it helps renovate poor self-esteem.
I like the rest of the book and chose to just rip out that page!

The more Dr. Seuss books I read, the more I marvel why people like his books so much. The original books are WAY to long (buy the board books!) and remind me of the study that shows that kids these days have a shorter attention span than in the past–15-30 seconds, the part of time of a commercial on TV. Maybe it’s not the commercials that did it, but rather Dr. Seuss. After about the third page, this book switches from fish to additional creatures. This really confused me. From the title, I expected the whole book to be about fish, and opposites, or at least different descriptors. But not only is it not just fish, after the third page, the whole thing falls apart. Each page has nothing to do with the following page. Why were these pages place together to form one book? Who knows. To the reviewer who says he can read it in any order–this isn’t Choose Your Own Adventure. It’s _supposed_ to be a sequential book.

Just as Seuss covered anti-intellectualism in Green Eggs and Ham, and alternate lifestyles in Hop on Pop, the Fish book is a trenchant political analysis. Foreseeing the red vs. blue state standstill back in the idealistic better-living-through-chemistry early 1960s, Suess contrasts the red (as in communist) fish with the all-American blue fish. This pattern weaves through the book, teaching small ones the red vs. blue tension of multiculturalism (in the form of weird animals) and isolationism of Ned in his too-tiny bed. While most younger children will miss the allusion to Procrustes, they may remember the literary echo in Hop on Pop: Ned joins Red, Ted, and Ed in a more appropriately sized bed, and Seuss shows his support for the UN, or at least the International Monetary Fund.
The tension is palpable when the young boy and girl bring home a large, walrus-like pet and marvel how their mother will feel about their deed; no preschooler could miss this reference to the Teapot Dome scandal. Similarly, their advice to get a pet Yink simply because of its fondness for pale red india writing product is a sardonic commentary on rampant consumerism. And the camel-like Wump shows his prophetic realization that our demand for oil would force us to deal with the Saudis on a regular basis.
Seuss warns us of the coming apportion in these United States in the introduction: “From there to here, from here to there, amusing things are everywhere.” It starts with the fish, red, blue, and black (but not white, showing where Geisel’s sympathies lie), young and ancient, then proceeds up the evolutionary chain to large land mammals, eventually including the aforementioned school-aged boy and girl. They serve as the Adam and Eve as well as the Joe and Joan Sixpak of the book. They espouse embracing what is different while they reinforce doing the same.
Seuss knew where we were headed in both 2000 and 2004, and this book shows the way out. The US has plenty of (pale) red ink, so we should get a Yink. I reflect.
